The 4350water Blog highlights some of the issues relating to proposals for potable reuse in Toowoomba and South East Qld. 4350water blog looks at related political issues as well.
The reasons for Debnam's political failure at the NSW state election will be many and varied, however, it is clear that his recycled water taste tests were not the magic panacea for the NSW Liberals political woes.

For many years, the 4350water blog has informed readers of plans by the Toowoomba City Council (now Toowoomba Regional Council) and the Qld government to introduce recycled water for drinking in Toowoomba. It has also looked at the issue from a State and Federal perspective and dealt with related State and Federal political issues. There continues to be a need for the Toowoomba Regional Council to be completely transparent in its dealings with the ratepayers and residents of Toowoomba. There also continues to be a need for open debate on the benefits and risks of potable reuse and long-term studies on the effects on humans of drinking recycled water. Coal seam gas water is emerging as a possible alternate water source for some uses for the region. The 4350water blog is a collective effort and thanks go to its many contributors.

From ABC News:
NSW Liberals turn against Debnam
New South Wales Liberal MPs have turned on their leader, Peter Debnam, saying his campaign was frustrating and atrocious and the party needs someone who will cut through to voters.
It follows a decision by his deputy Barry O'Farrell to mount a challenge.
...
Mr Debnam's leadership has been described as autocratic and lacking in self-awareness and his decision not to stand down ignores the fact he does not connect with voters.

He made such a strong stand for the use of recycled sewage water that maybe the voters did not want that at all.
The Liberals are out of step everywhere and I don't want the others either!
